Program description:The Paradise Creek Adopt-A-Stream Watershed Restoration Project works to enhance the physical, biological, and chemical quality of Paradise Creek. We will restore the urbanized and rural riparian floodplain through revegetation, bioengineered bank stabilization, and where possible, reconnection of the active stream channel with constructed functional floodplains. Biophysical monitoring of the riparian and aquatic environs of the stream, using protocols adopted by Idaho's Division of Environmental Quality, tracks the progress of this massive restoration.
